about

track 1 of my upcoming EP "Conscious Creation". do yourself a favor and listen with headphones. NOW AVAILABLE ON ALL STREAMING SERVICES.

this song is about taking control of your life by learning to love the unknown, to question reality, and to recognize the divinity hidden within everything, including your self.

most of all, it's my open hand extended out to you and a gentle reminder to care about the things that matter and nothing else.
peace and love, please enjoy.

I wrote these lyrics on the beach in Kauai looking up at the stars

lyrics

lyrics:

sunset wash over distant lands
Subset of the empty beyond
Listing with no reason in the lag
Stars wail nostalgic song

We burned on the beach
I found my self beyond the cage
God playing hide and seek
Warping on the twisted wave

Chorus
No one knows what's going on
In this projected pixel sight
It's all as one
It’s time to create our life
(2: Distance dulls the light)

verse 2
you closed your eyes and hummed in tune
Drawing your breath on the breeze
I gave away all that I had
and stumbled down the peak

We hiked the cove
the tincture under tongues of friends
Embraced the truth that
Every moment sparks an end

chorus

bridge:

Laniakea
drifts away
Holding us closely
In the milky way
And all that I've seen seems to prove the same
That there's no winners in this frameless game

Set free in the phenomenal cosmos
Lucidity in knowing my hands
Comfort in forgetting the end

Static in the uncertain scenery
moving forward without a plan
the struggle is making me the man
I want to be 
I want to be

Chorus
clued in to what’s going on
in this tripped out hollow life
why waste fun
there’s still time to create our lives
